In 1850, Francis "Paddy" Walker travelled across the frozen Lake Huron from Goderich, Ontario to the 2 year old settlement of Penetangore (Kincardine, Ontario). Mr. Walker arrived in the settlement with his wife Jane and his seven sons.〔 Realizing that when new settlers like himself arrived to Penetangore they would need somewhere to stay, Paddy Walker soon built a Hotel situated near the mouth of the Penetangore (later the Harbour).〔 The Walker House served as a hotel under the management of Paddy Walker and his descendants until 1942 when the Walker house was sold to Marie and Al Gairns.〔 The Walker house was still used as a hotel under the ownership of Mr. and Mrs. Gairns until they decided to turn it into a rooming house. After the death of Mr. Gairns, Marie Gairns used the Walker House as her own private home well into the 1990s.
